Miami is such a spread out city, and our four community sites are each very busy, that it is a rare and fantastic event to get us all together in the same place at the same time! Marking the second year of Brick x Brick, we exhibited works made by students during the course of our program, and we thanked everyone for making the year a success. We had great sandwiches and watched the collaborative video produced by all four groups, "MIA In the House". Look for that video to be posted here on our blog soon! Wishing everyone a healthy and productive summer, we look forward to seeing you all again - and welcoming new faces - at Brick x Brick in 2010. Huge thanks go to Miami Art Museum for producing such a great program - and to our funders, Heckscher Foundation for Children and JP Morgan

Brick x Brick

Brick x Brick is Miami Art Museum's after-school program for teens. Taking place at 4 community sites in Miami, artists-in-residence lead participants in projects to raise awareness of their communities’ architecture, design, urban planning, and landscape. By drawing, painting, writing, documenting neighborhoods with photography, digital imaging, video, 3D drafting, and blogging teens learn new skills & envision improved neighborhoods. Thanks to JP Morgan Chase and Western Union for making Brick by Brick possible. Previous funders have been: Heckscher Foundation for Children and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
